Part 4- The House of Dies Drear

Section 3

     Hi everyone, it’s me, Erin, again with the 3rd section of our book. In this section, Thomas wakes up to find his father with three triangles that, they believe, almost forms the Greek Cross. It was a Sunday, so the Smalls had church, where everyone seems to act strangely around Pluto. Afterwards, they go to the college campus, where Mr. Small is going to be working. They then find the fourth triangle, which they believe is a warning sign. Since Thomas broke the lock to the back door when he ran into it, they have to get a new one. While looking for a new lock, they meet Carr, who warns them about the Darrows. Once they return home, they find their kitchen is in ruins.

  1. The setting is important because for this story the setting is the house,and without the house their would be no story. -Tyler

  2. Because if they were somewhere else besides church there wouldn’t be so many people that knew Pluto.and there Might not have the pieces of triangles in such wierd places.the author could’ve put them right in their hands!

  3. The setting is important because if it was a big town it wouldn’t make sense for the hidden tunals underground and passage ways and the big scary house ,the danger,mr.pulots warning,but in a small town that all makes sense because its the last place somebody would look because people might not know it is real also the characters becaus if mr.small didn’t teach at that school the wouldn’t have moved and none of ths would be happening and with out the twins he wouldn’t have found the fist passage way and mrs.small with out her when they were looking for mr.pulto they would’ve had to take the twins,and Thomas with out him they would have not found a lot of things or not have had a kid with lots too know,mr.pluto .he is the reason that the smalls are scared and want to find he and find out why he damaged there kitchen.pesty is a girl who cleans the glass with out her mr pulto would never had fond a person to love
